Excerpt from The Practical Printer and Instructor: Containing Thorough Information in the Art of Modern Painting, Varnishing, Etc
In bringing this work before the trade, it is designed to be a benefit to the Art of Practical Painting, and an assistant to those in the trade. The author is confident that this work has never been surpassed, in giving a thorough insight in the art of mixing and using colors. All he asks is a thorough examination of this work, feeling confident that it will be duly appreciated.
The art of painting is no new subject; but in practical painting there has not been that careful investigation there should have been. The decoration and beautifying of our homes is worthy of the careful consideration of the trade.
The author hopes to rectify a great many errors. The art of painting is most abused by those who have not served a regular apprenticeship, and, knowing but little of the business, contract work at ruinous prices, which, being but half done, causes great injury to the business.
